Hi all,
I'm hitting a mouse-related (?) problem with mintty in non-mouse mode.
STC A: Log into a remote machine, invoke `sleep 10', and -- during the
wait --- click anywhere on the line containing the cursor.
STC B: Open tinyirc and click anywhere on the text entry line at the
bottom
Both cases will insert a long string like this:
^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C (only about 4x
longer)
Did you notice that when you click somewhere in the command line, the
cursor moves
to that position? i think it has to do with that.
Go to the options dialog, select "Mouse" and uncheck "Clicks place
command line cursor".
The effect should go away.

I suspect this is a problem with the way mintty tries to be helpful
with the mouse when the app's not mouse-aware. Running STC A on a
local mintty/bash sesson will place the cursor wherever you clicked,
which while harmless is arguably incorrect (and probably the source of
troubles).
Any ideas?
Ryan
